About the Clinical Director

Ms. Pema Doma is a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA) candidate who began her academic journey with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, English Literature, and Sociology from Jyoti Nivas College, Bangalore (2013–2015). She went on to earn her Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from CMR University in 2017.

She began her professional career as a Remedial/Special Educator at The Learning Arc in 2017, where she worked until 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she took on a short teaching role at the Dalai Lama Institute of Higher Education, where she taught undergraduate Psychology. In 2020, Ms. Pema entered the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as a Behavioural Therapist at Stepping Stones in Bangalore, where she worked until 2022.

Since then, she has been working at Early Autism Ventures, where she plays a key role in the clinical planning and implementation of programs for children with autism and other developmental delays. She is actively involved in assessment, curriculum development, and ongoing support for each child.

Ms. Pema finds equal joy in both designing individualised, evidence-based programs and working hands-on with children. Her approach is rooted in compassion and respect for each child’s unique learning style and pace. She believes that meaningful progress comes from understanding the child deeply and supporting them consistently, whether it’s through structured teaching or shared moments during play. This balanced engagement—between thoughtful planning and direct interaction—inspires and drives her ongoing commitment to the field.
